My encounter with Bhoot Jolokia:
One small bite...
1. The first couple of seconds, nothing happens
2. Then a sort of warmth starts at the point of contact and spreads, increasing in both reach and heat
3. By the fifth second the inside of my mouth feels like it caught fire and my tongue is getting scorched
4. By the eighth second the hiccups start
5. Speech becomes difficult
6. The heat spreads to the brain (“bheja fry”?) and stays there
7. It is a while before sanity returns
Thankfully, I escaped with just a heat stricken tongue as the bhoot retreated
I looked at my watch; it was 11:30pm, so all this must have started at 11:11:11
